"Dale 'w;atllid not let you go scot-

and, your ame'n'd'men't hath beim of

main to the end of time. IB:u' we have
livedand hunted, !fought and bled
together, and in our own fashhion I
think we bear each other good iwnll,—
even some love. t 'have winked' at
much, have shielded you in _much,
perhaps. In 'return lI have demanded
one ;thing, which if you had not

"Havel ever refused it, my cap
'Fain?"
":Not yet, !Take your hand from ' that
pillion and hold it up; then say after
me these words: 'This lady is -my
mistress, my 'master's wife, to be by
me 'reverenced as such. Her fare is
not for my eyes nor her hand for ,my
lips. If lI keep not myself clean of all
offense toward her, may God approve
that which my master shall do!"
The blood rushed to his fact. I
watdhed his fingers slowly loosening
their grasp.
"Tardy obedience is .of the ,house
of mutiny,".fI said ,sternly. 'Will you,
sirrah, or will you not ?"
He raised his hand and repeated
the words.
"'N'ow hold her as ,before," 'I order-
ed, and, straightening myself in the
saddle, rode on, with my eyes once
more on 'the path before me.
A mile further on, Mistress Piercy
stirred and raised her 'head from my
shoulder. '"Not at Jamestown yet?"'
she sighed, as yet hut half awake. "O1
the endless 'trees! 1 dreamed 'I was
hawking at Windsor, and :then sada
denly I was ,here in this' .forest, a
bird, happy !because 1 'was free; and
then a falcon came swooping down
upon me,—it 'had me in its 'talons,
and I ,changed to myself 'again, and
it changed to—What am 'I' saying ?
II am talking in my sleep. Who is
that singing ?"
an fact, from the weds in front of
us, and not a 'bowshot away, rang
out a powerful voice:—.,
'In the merry ,month Of May,
In a. morn by ,break of •d'ay,
With a troop of damsels playing
!Forth I 'went, forsooth, a-imayin:g;'
and .presently, the trees :thinning in
front of us, we came upon a little
open glade and upon the singer. He
lay on his back, on the soft turf be-
neath an oak, with 'his. 'hands clasped
behind his head and his eyes up-
turned to the blue sky 's'howing be-
tween leaf and ;branch. On one knee
crossed above the other sat a squirrel
with a niat in its paws, and half a
dozen •ethers scampered 'here and
there over his great (body, like so
many frolicsome kitten's, At a little
distance grazed an old horse, gray
and gaunt, springhatt and spavined,
with ribs like Death's own. Its saddle
and 'bridle adorned a limb Of the oakk.
The song went cheerfully one—
" 'IVIevele
n:—"'Mu'oh ado there .was, God ,wit:
He would love and ,she would not;
She said, "'Never ,man was •true"
He said, "Wane was false to you.
"Give you good -day, reverend sir'"
I called. '"Art conning next [Sunday'•s
hymn ?"
'Nothing abashed, Master Jeremy
Sparrow gently shook 'off the •squir-
rels, and getting to his feet advanced,
to meet us.
"A toy," he declared, with a wave
of his hand, "a .trifle, a 'silly old
song that came, into my mind un-
awares, the leaves' 'being so .green
and the sky so blue. Had you come
Ja little earlier or a little later, you
W'oul'd have heard the ninetieth peanut,

"Art on your •way to Jamestown?"
I demanded. "Come 'rid'e '*ith as.
IDi'ccon, saddle his reverence's 'horse."
"Saddle him an thou ;wilt, friend,"
said ,Master Btpannow, 'for he and II
have idled long enough, ;but I 'fear
I 'cannot keep Ipaice 'with thi's fair
company, "I and 'the horse are foot-
ing it together."
"He is not •long for :this woeld," +I
:rem'a'rked, 'ey'eing his 'ill favored steed;
"but neither are we 1a'r from James-
town. He'll last that war.
Master Sparrow :s'ho'ok his hea'd,.
with a rueful countenance. "I bought
him. !Prom one' of the Faenoh vigner-
ons below Westover." ,he said. "The
fe1'how was a's'tride the poor creature,
beating him with a club because he
could not go.. I laid Monsieur Cra-
paud in the dust, after which we com-
pounded, he for my purse, I for the
animal; since when the poor beast and
I have tramped together, for I could
not in conscience ride him. Have you
read me Aesop, his fables, Captain
".Percy?"
"I remember the man, the boy, and
the ass," 1 replied. "The ass came
to 'grief in. the 'end. Put thy scru'ples
in •thy pocket, man, and mount thy
pale horse."
"Not Il" he said, with a smile. "'Tis
a thousand pities, Captain Percy, that
a small, meat'.,d squeamish spirit
like mine shouldnbe cased like a very
Guy of Warwick, Now, if I were
slight of body, or even if .1 were no
heavier than your servant there"-
`"Oh 1" I said. "Dimon, givle his
reverence the mare, and do you
mount his horse and bring him slowly
on to to.wa. S:f hewill holt carry you,
lead hiin in." •
[Sun'sh'ine revis'i'ted the countenance
of iviaster Jeremy ,Sparrow; he swung
his great body into the saddle, gath-
ered up the reins, and made the mare
to caracole across the path for very
joy.
"Hav'e :a care of +the poor brute,
friend' 1" he cried geni'al'ly ,to Diccon,
whose looks iv'ere of the sulkiest.
"Bring !him gently on, and leave him
at,M,asiter ,Bu'c'ke's near' to .the church."
"What do you do at iJe'm'estown?"
I asked, as we passed 'fro'm out the
glade into the gloom of 'a pine veeeed.
"I was told that you were goneto
iHenricus to help •blaster 'Thorpe con-
vert the Indians,"
"Ay," he 'an'swered, "I did go. I
had a call,—sI was sure I' had. aa,ca11.
I 'thought of myself as a very apostle
to - the +Gentiles, !I 'went :fro,m there
one. day's !journey 'into, 'the wilde'nness,,
with none but an .Tud:ian'lad 'for +initer-
preter, and coining to an 'Indian vil-
lage gathered its 'inhalbibants about
me, and sitting down upon a 'hillock
read and expounded to them the Ser-
mon on the Mount. !I was much edi-
fied by the solemnity of their demean-
or and the earnestness of 'theiratten-
tion, and 'had conceived great ho'p'es
for their spiritual welfare, when, the
reading and exhontabion `being finished
one of their old men arose and m'a'de
me a 'long speech which II could not
well und'ersta'nd, 'but 'teak 'to be one
of .grateful,welcome to nuys'elf and my
tidings of pewee land goad'wild: He
then desired me to tarry 'wi'tth them
and to be ,present at so'm'e e'ittorta'in-
ment or other, the 'feature of which I
could not .make out. 'I tarried; and
toward' evening they ,condu'cted me
with mweh cere'm'ony to an open space
in the midst of the .v'ill'age. There I
found planted in the ,ground a (thick
stake, and around it a ring iof flam-
ing brushwood.. To the stake was
fastened an I'nd'ian +warrior, 'ca'p'tured,
so my 'interpreter infor'me'd me, from
some hostile tr!'be above the 'farms, His
arms' and ankles were secured to the
stake by means' of thongs 'pas'sed
through incisions in _tulle ;flesh; his
body was stuck over 'with countless
pine spli-nte'rs, each burning like a
miniature :torch; 'and on.'h'is s'h'aven
!era wn'•w•as teed a ,thin plate of co'pp'er
heaped with red -holt coals. A little to

"'I do not know," I said. "The town
will be 'full, and 'the guest 'home is not

"Why 'not ;come to nee?" he asked:
"Mere are ,none in :the mini'ster's

His • plan :pleased me wield. Exce'p't
the 'Governor's and !Captain !West's,
the minister's house was the best in
the town. It was retired, foo., being
set in its own' grou'nd's, and not upon
the street, .and I desired' 'privacy.
IOoadlwife LAilien was staid 'and incur -
bolls. Moreover, I liked Master Jeremy
!Sparrow.
S accepted hie hos'pita'lity and :gave
lint •bhanks,. He waved, them away,
and 'fell to 'complimenting 'M'istre'ss'
Percy, 'who was pleased to be gracious
to us both. Well content for the me -
merit with the world and ourselves,
we fared on through the alternating
sunshine and shade, and were happy,
wif'h the careless inhh'bitan'ts of the
forest. Overseen we came to the pen-
insula and crossed the neck' of land,
:Before us lay the town: to the outer
eye a poor and mean village, indeed,
but to the inner the st'ron'ghold and
capital of our race in the. western
world, the germ from Which might
spring stately -:cities, the newborn
babe which might in time equal its
parent in stature. So lI and a few be-
sides, both in Virginia and at home,
viewed the 'mean houses, the poor
church acrd rude fort, and loved the
spot which had w'i'tnessed 'much suf-
fering and small joy, but which held
Within it the future, which was even
now a bit in the mouth sof Spain, a
;thing in 'itself euitwei'ghiing all the toil
•attd anguish of our planting. But there
were others who saw oin!Ia the mean -
fleas .of the place, its'almost defence-
lessness, its fluxes and fevers, the
fewness of its inhabitants and th'e
member of its graves. Finding no
gold and no earthly paradise, and ,that
in the 'sweat of :their brow they mast
eat their 'bread, ,they straightway fell
:into the dumps, and either died out
ell sheer ,perversity, or went yelping
h'om'e to tlhe Coim'pany 'with :all man-
ner of dismal tales,—which tales,
through my !Lord Wai'wi•ck's good
offices, :never failed to reach the sac-
red ears of ;his Majesty, and to bring
the colony and The 'Conepahny into
disfavor.
We came to the palisade, and.found
the gates wide splen and the warder
gone.
•
"Wlhere be the people?' marveled
Master Sparrow, as we rode through
into the atree't.u,'Isa 'truth, where Were
the .people? On ei'th•er, slide of the
street 'the doors of tlhe houses stood
open, but no person loa'ked out from
them or loitered on. the doorsteps; the
square was empty; there were ono
women at thio well, .no children under-
foot, no gaping crowd !before the goal
and 'pillory, no guard' before the Gov-
ern'or's house,—not 'a soul, high or
low, to be seen,
"awe they all migrated?" . cried
Sparrow. "Ane they gone to Croat-
?"
"They h'a've- left one to tell the tale,
then," 11 said, for here he comes run-
ning."

"It's the Spaniard' at last," I Said.
"Come •onnl"
IWlhen we reached the river bank
before the font,- it was to 'fi'nd eonif'u's
io'n worse 'cowfouanded, The 'gates of
of the ;palisade ;were: ope. and +througlh.
them sitrssuered Councilors, B'urge'sses,
and officers, While the bank itself was
thronged with ;the igeneral'ity. Ancient
;plantlters, IS'mb'Vh'•s menu, D'ale'is mien,
tenants and alerv'anits, weerven and chil-
dren, including 'the little :eyases we
imported the year ;before, ;ne'grae's,
IPasph'h'eghs,'Frerech .vigneron's, Dutch
,sawmi'lll men, IIta1'iau glaissworkers,—
all seethed to and fro, all talked at
once, .and .01 looked down the river.
'Out of 'the 'babel of 'voices .tihese words
came to us 'over and over: ""•The Span-
iard!" "The Iniq'uiisi'ti'on!" "The ga!l-
leyys'I" They were the 'w'ords oftenest
'beard at 'that time, when strange sails
hove in. sight.
BB'uit where was t'h'e ,S'pani'ard? lOn
the . river, ,hu'gging .the shore, were
:manly ,email craft, barges, thaltotps,
sloops; an:d• pinnaces, and ;beyond
them the mu's'ts of 'th'e Truelove, the
Due Return, and the Tiger, then in
port; on these three, of which the larg-
est, the 'Due Return, was of but teigllt'ty
toms, them'arin'ers were running about
and the masters bawling orders. But
:there 'was no other Ship, no bark, gal-
leon, it mien -of -war, with three 'tiers
of 'grinning ordnance, and the halted
ye'l'low flag flaunting abo'v'e,
a sprang from 'my horse, and, lean-
ing it and Mistress Percy int Sparrow's'
change, hastened up to the ;fort, As I
•passed through the palisade I heard`
my name cal'le'd, and turning waited
for M'aste'r Pony to come ulp. He was
panting and puffing, his jovial face
very red.
"I was 'across the neck of land when
heard the news, " he .said. "I ran.
all the way, and am somewhat scant
of breath. Here's the devil to pay I"
'"It looks 'anothe'r mare's nest," I
repied. "We have cried "Spaniard!'
pretty often."
"But' this time 'the wol'f's here," .he
answered, "Davies sent a 'horseman
at a .gallop from 'AI'gennon with the
tidings. iHe p'asse'd the ship, and it
was a very great one. We may thank
this .dead calm that it did nit c'a'tch,
us unawares:"
[Within the palisade was noise e-
nough, 'but more order than .without.
On the haif-mocens conemanding the
river, gunners were .busy about our
sakers, falcon's, and 'three culvsrins,

There was a roar of laughter from
the 'ca'pta'ins and 'gunners, but terror
of the 'Spaniard hiad made Master 'Ed -
Ward S'horpless ;bold to all ;besides.
"They wrfdl wipe as off the fake of

His voice rose to a scream, and he
1 shook as with an ague. "Are you
Mad.? !It's Spain that's to be fought'
Spain 'bhe rich! Spain the, powerful!
Spain the lord of the New World!"
"It's England that 'fights!" S cried.
"For very shame, hold your tongue!"
"Ill we sulrender at once they'll let
